Philadelphia noise-rock and shoegaze outfit A Country Western have announced new album Audition Tape, due 21 October via Crafted Sounds.
Lead single “Blood Eagle” is a compact two-minute blast of melodic shoegaze with considerably more grit and dirt under its fingernails than the genre's dreamier practitioners.
The band's punchy approach offers a visceral entry point for fans seeking heavier shoegaze and noise rock.
